Purpose: Since
it's invention, the computer has become more technically
advanced. As time progressed, computers have become faster,
harder working, and smarter. This week, this advancement will be
tested over a famous background - the chessboard. The two
computer systems that will be tested are the Apple IIe computer
made roughly in 1983, and the Nintendo Game Boy, made roughly in
1990, the game used will be Sargon Chess II.

Hypothesis: Based on
technological advancement, the hypothesis of this experiment is
that the Game Boy will win the tournament. This hypothesis is
based on the fact that the Game Boy will be able to analyze more
moves quicker then the Apple IIe.

Equipment: This
experiment will require a two computer systems which one is older
then the other, and a chess program that is common to them both.
This experiment used Sargon II Chess master for it's games, this
program was developed in 1979, and is usable by both the Game Boy
and Apple IIe computer.

Procedure: The tournament
between the two consisted of a best of 5 matches. Sargon Chess
has 6 levels of mastery, for this experiment, two games were
played at level 1, two at level 2 and one game at level 3. Both
played black and white for levels 1 and 2, and a coin tossed
decided who played which color on level 3. For actual play, Black
and White had to be decided for the two computers, then after the
computer moved white, the move would be noted, and inputted into
the other computer, this process is repeated for the games.
Record results.

Conclusion: The experiment has proven
the hypothesis wrong, and the Apple dominated the chess board
over the Game Boy. Despite the slaughter, in Game Boy's defense,
it was playing music throughout the games. For a complete
experiment, the two computers should have been tested at their
hardest level which is 6, however, Scientific AmeriKen doubts the
Game Boy's battery power would last the 3 days it would take to
finish such an experiment.
